Many powerful landlords and bureaucrats who originally thought they could take advantage of this great opportunity to make a fortune now feel a feeling of despair coming over them.
A prince appeared in the Tianzi Temple in Wushan. This is already conclusive news and cannot be more conclusive.
Wushan was closed, and the chimes of the Tianzi Temple rang nine times in a row. This is the most conclusive evidence.
Since ancient times, the emperor has twelve bells, the princes have nine bells, and the officials have six bells. This is etiquette!
And in today's world, who is worthy of ringing the nine bells?
You can guess with your buttocks that only His Highness Liu De, the second son of today's son, who is vaguely already the crown prince, can take it calmly. The other princes and kings will only dare to dominate in their own territory. After leaving the feudal country, they will immediately
Shrink your head and be a grandson!
"What should I do?" Cheng Dong anxiously walked around his home. When things came to a close, he finally knew what the taste of fear was, and he also understood the mentality of those farmers who knelt in front of him and begged him for a way out.
Now, he just wants to, if possible, he is willing to kneel and die at the feet of His Highness from Wushan, as long as His Highness can spare his life! Even if it means giving him a way to survive!
"Father, let's run away now!" One of Cheng Dong's sons knelt down and begged: "Emperor Liu has always been ruthless. Back then, when Prefect Zhou Yang took office, he killed the local wealthy families in Anyi in one go.
More than half, but the imperial court only gives awards! Now, there is such a big problem in Dayang, if we don't run away, it will be too late!"
"Run?" Cheng Tong said with a sad face, "Where are you running?"
Yes. Where are you going?
Hedong is located in a land surrounded by Han counties and counties. Even if you escape from Hedong, you will immediately face the pursuit of other counties.
Besides, the foundation and family property of Dayang were abandoned like this?
This is worse than killing him!
Waiting means sitting still and waiting for death, running is asking for death!
what to do?
Cheng Dong and his sons looked at each other and had no idea at all.
At this time, Cheng Tong suddenly remembered something, so he said to one of his sons: "Your sister is at home now. Go and call her back quickly. Now, if you can save me, the Cheng family has dozens of people."
She is probably the only one who said it!"
Cheng Dong's eldest daughter Cheng Ruoxi is a famous beauty in Dayang County.
Two years ago, Cheng Ruoxi got married to the legitimate son of the Li family, a wealthy family in Linxian County. Unfortunately, the eldest son of the Li family had a bad life. He died of illness within a year of their marriage, so Cheng Ruoxi has been a widow.
at home.
The folk customs of the Han family were open, and as long as a widow had a good reputation and outstanding appearance, many people would be willing to marry her.
Moreover, the court encouraged widows to remarry.
Cheng Ruoxi obviously has no worries about whom she wants to marry.
So, in March of this year, Li Wei, the official of Hexi County, heard about Cheng Ruoxi's beauty. So he sent someone to propose marriage. Cheng Dong saw that he had a good family background and a good official career, so he agreed.
But now, the family is facing a disaster, and they don't care about any promises. As long as they can survive this disaster, what does it mean to sacrifice a daughter?
What's more, if my daughter can be favored, it will be a blessing in disguise!
So, his sons immediately rushed to the villa where their sister lived.
yes!
How many of Liu's princes are lecherous?
As long as they can climb into the lap of the royal family, the disaster in front of them will disappear immediately. Not only that, maybe their family can also prosper!
None of these brothers is confident about their sister's appearance and beauty.
In the face of the disaster, the powerful landowners and officials in Dayang County were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. They each thought of their own solutions and responses. They had the same idea as Cheng Jia, hoping to use beauty bribes to settle the matter.
There are not a few.
Of course, there are also people who have their brains kicked by donkeys and become nervous.
Zhang Cigong, the most famous, fierce and capable thief in Hedong County, received a deal that paid him thousands of gold.
Hedong has a tradition of robbery since ancient times.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, bandits in Hedong have been repeatedly suppressed, and there have been many righteous thieves.
Hedong people even call the business of robbery "plagiarism".
Plagiarists are quick, and they are quick to rob. It is a pun, which means that the actions of doing this business are quick and clean. It also points out that they are bandits who make a living by robbing.
Zhang Cigong is undoubtedly an expert in this business. Although he has only been in the industry for a year, his reputation is already well-known in the green forests of Hedong. Whoever mentions the name Zhang Cigong will not praise him as a hero? Call him a man?
"One thousand gold!" Zhang Cigong looked at the three hundred gold deposit placed in front of him. He would be lying if he said he was not interested!
Who in this line of work is not here for money?
One thousand gold is enough to buy their brother's life!
It's just that he's not stupid, let alone stupid!
"Brother, you can't get this money!" Zhang Cigong's brother-in-law, the think tank in his gang, Yi Zong, a native of Hedong, saw that Zhang Cigong seemed to be a little moved and quickly advised him: "Although we are bandits, we also have a way of attacking and killing.
Never do good things! What's more, I heard that the man on Wushan Mountain is an indescribably noble man. We are just ordinary people like ants, how dare we offend him? I'm afraid, we are not close yet.
That noble man will be shot to death by random arrows. Death is not terrible. What is terrible is that after we die, we will have to dishonor the ancestral temple and damage the reputation of our ancestors!"
"I know!" Zhang Cigong smiled and looked at Yi Zong, his little brother. Although Yi Zong was quick-thinking, well-educated, literate, and from a famous family, he was only fifteen years old. After all, he had little knowledge and could only
Think of these things.
After all, Zhang Cigong was several years older than Yi Zong and had eaten much more.
How could he not know that this was a mission that was inevitable and impossible to complete?
Moreover, the Liu family had accumulated prestige for a long time, and the late emperor was a saint in the world. Although they fell into trouble and became bandits, they still had consciences in their hearts. At the very least, Zhang Cigong felt that if the emperor gave orders, he would immediately join the army and become a man.
"My brother Yi Zong, don't you think this is a God-given opportunity?" Zhang Cigong played with the three hundred gold, but said with great joy on his face: "I have been waiting for a long time to be a good man, but I am from a humble background and have no connections.
He is valued by the government, but..." Zhang Cigong picked up a piece of gold cake and the letters and commissions sent by the powerful landlords, and said with a smile: "This is a stepping stone, what we usually call a certificate of nomination! With these, we will
If you can go to Wushan to see that noble man, please ask to see him in the name of warning!"
"Good brother, prepare well!" Zhang Cigong ordered Yi Zong: "I heard that the noble man was selected based on his talents and not based on his status. A few days ago, there was a lot of rumors about the noble man.
My dear brother, my family is of noble origin, and poems and books have been handed down from generation to generation. However, unfortunately I was forced to fall into disgrace. Now is a good opportunity to make a comeback. My dear brother, I must seize it!"
Yizong's family was originally a famous local family in Anyi, Hedong Province. Unfortunately, it was regarded as a typical example by the prefect Zhou Yangyou.
Yi Zong and his sister survived because of their young age.
Now, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a comeback. If you are lucky, you can even take this opportunity to overthrow Zhou Yangyou and avenge your family!
Yi Zong and his sister have not been idle at all this year. They have been searching for evidence of Zhou Yangyou's crimes and have learned a lot of clues. (To be continued...)
